Hi folks: When last we spoke, I think I was living in NYC. Or maybe I'd already moved to Seattle. In any event, I am now here in St. Louis, MO. It's not so bad - in fact, it's better than I thought it would be. I'm keeping a blog of my experiences here in the Midwest: http://djearlybird.blogspot.com. ("DJ Early Bird" is my DJ alter ego. My wife Callie gave it to me upon noting that I'm always early for things. It's true. Plus it's a DJ name I can continue to use when I'm, you know, older. Do they have Early Bird Specials in Europe?) My main reason for writing is to express my shock that Belle & Sebastian will be coming to St. Louis in November. This news has just made my entire year - as much as I like Missouri, it's not exactly a hotspot for touring bands. Heck, I might even travel to Lawrence and Chicago to see them. If any of you Sinisterinos are coming here, let me know - I'll pass along food and drink recommendations. back to lurking, mike mike@appelstein.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
